[SIZE=48]Announcing![/SIZE]

[SIZE=32]The Gypsy's Gala[/SIZE][/B][/FONT]

[SIZE=16]Mulnari, The Sixteenth of Oclar, One Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-one years after the Cataclysm.[/SIZE]

[/COLOR]

[SIZE=24]An elite social occasion demanding the best attire and entertainment.

Come prepared for a feast with a compliment of free spirits, the best in the known world. Come prepared to dance, to flaunt your excess, to demonstrate your social cunning, your grace.

A King and Queen will be chosen from among the gathered to mark the history books and reign over the year following the Gala.

The Gala's main attraction is the raffle, a shameless display of wealth and artifacts to which you can lay claim. The details of the raffle are explained below.

The entry fee to the Gala is Ten Thousand (10000) True, paid at the door.

Don't miss out on the social event of the year. All are invited -- queens and magistrates, soldiers and thieves -- provided one can pay the fee to enter. The streets will be filled to see who attends this affair.[/SIZE]

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[SIZE=24]Rules of the Raffle:

There are three tiers of goods to be raffled. For each tier there are one hundred (100) tickets, for a total of three hundred (300) tickets. Raffle tickets cost thirty-five thousand (35000) True each.

Tier One contains seventy-five (75) items.
Tier Two contains fifty (50) items.
Tier Three contains twenty-five (25) items.

You may purchase tickets in advance.

You will not be told to which tier the tickets belong until after the Gala has begun. Once the announcement has been made, tickets may be swapped during the Gala, but selling tickets is strictly forbidden, nor will you have much time to broker a deal between the time of the announcement and the time the drawings begin.

At the time of this announcement, there is a maximum of two tickets per person. Access to more tickets will be released at a later date.

Seventy-five tickets will be drawn for Tier One, fifty for Tier Two, and twenty-five for Tier Three. A winning ticket entitles the holder to exchange their ticket for a good of their choosing from the Tier to which the ticket belongs. This means the first person drawn in the Tier has the most options, and the last person drawn in the Tier must take the final item.

All winning tickets will be exchanged for a raffle item. All non-winning tickets are redeemable at the Arms for a free meal and drink.

Detailed descriptions of the raffle items will be circulated prior to the Gala, and in waves. The Tier to which an item belongs will not be disclosed until the Gala.

All requests for tickets and other feedback should be directed to Steel, Current Steward of the Arms.[/SIZE]

//Is the old rule of no selling or trading of items won still in force? It was the absolute pits to win something wonderful. but totally useless to the character.

I'm fairly sure Milty was going to arrange it so there was some manner of open trade - but you'll have to hear it from him.

Where is the money that you make from this going Steel? In to your own pocket, charity or maybe one of your latest shadows?

*Wren reads Emie's note tacked to the other notes and grins*

I thought the proceeds were going to pay for the after gala event party. I dont think Emie wants to be there, I hear the event coordinator is a high priestess of Xeen.

*laughs a lot as he tacks this note up*

Tyra sees Wren's note and scoffs.
"If I have any say, there wouldn't even be wine served at the Gala, let alone ale... Steel better not have any Xeenites involved or I'm gonna take him by the horns and throw Him out of the Arms..."
She the goes back to going around looking for some "respectable" people to help cover security for the event.

//Are these items going to be oxed to make sure they are the right version?

Chongo · « **Reply #14 on:** July 08, 2009, 05:52:11 pm »

//They should all be in the correct version already I believe.
